Lowestoft
My job is a skipper so this my relaxation time from work. Sea and more sea. Have had a bash at the jesters a few years ago meet some great people with the same mindset. Now have a boat to big to take part in but still look at who is doing what. Won’t to climb the ladder in this career as fare as I can. Enjoying my new profession and looking forward to what’s around the next corner.

The RYAThe weather was nice and calm to start but the front came in and we had a force 6/7 for the last eight hours of the trip. Nice to have a good sail at the end of our trip home.

Tayport to Eyemouth, United Kingdom
Tayport is an interesting port don’t listen to what the almanac says for pricing £40.00 cash first night £25.00 second night. No water no electric and a horrible port-a cabin not cleaned and light in the shower didn’t work. Would not recommend this harbour for a visit

Inverness to Buckie, United Kingdom
Well it’s the last bit of the canal disappointed that it’s coming to an end. Would recommend it if you like a slow pace for a bit and enjoy wondering around the odd town and village on your way. Thank you Caledonian Canal. To all the staff on the gates you were all so helpful and kind.
